Hi folks, just had my weigh in after 1st week. Lost 5lb. Starting weight 21st 1lb interim goal is 17st, I'm 6ft 4 ins. Any one out there in a similar position ? It would be good to 'compare notes'.
Tips/advice/recipes welcome - I may need particular help in keeping things fresh and varied

Hi - I'm not in a similar position but just wanted to wish you well - certainly off to an amazing start! There's a lot of sub-forums with recipes etc to keep things interesting, also I find having a peek at other slimmers diaries gives me a few ideas.

Week 2 weigh in. -4lb down to 20st 6lb. All well so far 9 lb in first 2 weeks

Wow BigDav! That's absolutely fantastic - you must be so pleased. Not too far to go until you're in your "teens"

 

[BigDav]

That's my first target - then need to get to below 19st - not been there since I was a teenager - I'm 44 now !

Just the one poud loss this week, but reasonably happy as I wasn't expecting anything after a few impromptu drinks this weekend. Onwards.

Love your guitar! You look to be on stage - are you in a band?

 

[BigDav]

Another pound off - too many beers again - Doh!

 

[drumsrevolver]

Still a loss BD so well done! Is it weigh in again for you soon?

 

[BigDav]

Cheers

Wish I was 6ft 4. That's a whole foot taller than me!!! I hope to join a class on Thursday. Well done on your loss so far (beer is EVIL). I cannot blame it on alcohol. Mine is a mixture of chips/crisps/chocolate - hmmm anything else with a 'c'. I must be the most unhealthy vegetarian going. Mind you I don't smoke!

Go for it - just had 7 week weigh in and lost another 3. Let me know how you get on
